When we first arrived in Van Buren, Arkansas, I thought the heat and humidity were going to be with us for our entire stay. The first week was so oppressively hot and humid and we ran the air conditioner in our 5th wheel almost 24 hours a day. We had three thunder and lightening storms within the first six days! But the second week arrived with the most beautiful weather we could ask for! Blue, sunny skies, high wispy clouds, highs in the low 80’s and cold mornings with lows around 59. Dan has spent the first two weeks of September working with his brothers erecting a metal garage. It has been quite an extensive project, and we will be posting pictures and a description of the project soon. I mostly just hung around the 5th wheel playing on the laptop, going on my runs, cooking, reading, and rediscovering what it feels like to just totally relax for the first time in years. Our RV Park is very pleasant, set on Lee Creek which flows into the Arkansas River. I’ve included a picture taken just a few yards from our 5th wheel. We only have two more weeks here, and during that time we plan to visit Little Rock, take a hike or two in the Ozarks, have dinner at Dan’s cousin’s restaurant, and visit with Dan’s relatives. That will take us up to October 1st when we head back to Albuquerque for the annual Balloon Fiesta.
